Polymer and Hybrid Product Overview Capacitor Selection

Capacitors selection, to the uninformed, seems like a simple choice. But the demands, challenges and expectations of modern electronics prove otherwise. Design Engineers have many considerations when choosing the right capacitor for the job. . Electrical Characteristics . Stability . Life and reliability . Safety . Cost Many conventional capacitor technologies offer strong value propositions while no longer meeting the demands of today’s challenging designs. The Solution …

Advanced Polymer from Panasonic provide solutions to these challenges. Why Switch to Polymer Technology?

. Requirements and challenges of high performance miniaturized modern electronic design combined with expectations of high reliability and long life . Conventional capacitors are not up to the challenge . Advanced Polymer capacitors provide higher performance in a reduced footprint while offering longer life and improved reliability! Polymer Capacitor Advantages

Polymer capacitors offer distinctive advantages over conventional capacitors in these specific areas:

. Stability . Life . Reliability . Safety . Component Reduction Capacitance Stability

Conventional Electrolytic and MLCCs suffer from capacitance drifts of up to 90% in response to temperature and DC bias.

Polymer Capacitors have no such problem. Stability Hybrid

Panasonic has four Polymer Capacitor alternatives, each with distinct sweet spots that can address ideal voltages, frequency characteristics, environmental conditions and other application requirements that are challenging for conventional capacitors.

• SP‐Cap® – Layered Polymer Aluminum Capacitors • POSCAP® – Polymer Tantalum Capacitors • Hybrid – Polymer Hybrid Aluminum Capacitors • OS‐CON® – Wound Polymer Aluminum Capacitors Panasonic Polymer Capacitor

SP-Cap®

Layered Polymer Aluminum Capacitor – polymer is used as the with an aluminum . SP-Caps are packaged in a molded resin surface mount package.

SP-Caps are available with a voltage rating from 2 to 25V and capacitance of 2.2 to 560uF. The distinguishing electrical characteristic of these polymer capacitors is their extremely low equivalent series resistance (ESR) as low as 3mΩ Panasonic Polymer Capacitors

POSCAP®

Polymer Tantalum Capacitors employ a polymer as the electrolyte and have a tantalum cathode. Packaged in a molded resin case, the tantalum polymer capacitors are among the most compact on the market. The M size measures just 1.6 by 0.8 mm.

POSCAP capacitors are available with a voltage rating from 1.8 to 35V and capacitances from 2.7 to 680µF They, too, have low ESR values as low as 5mΩ. Panasonic Polymer Capacitors

OS-CON®

Wound Polymer Aluminum Capacitors utilize as the electrolyte and wound aluminum as the cathode. The polymer electrolyte yields very low ESR (below 5mΩ) while the wound aluminum cathode provides a large surface area enabling high capacitance.

OS-CON Capacitors are available in a voltage range of 2 to 50 VDC and capacitances from 3.3 to 2700µF. Life Formula – POSCAP & OS-CON Panasonic Polymer Capacitor

PANASONIC HYBRID

Polymer Hybrid Aluminum Capacitors use a combination of a liquid and polymer to serve as the electrolyte and aluminum as the cathode. This combination attains the best of polymer and technology; low ESR of a polymer (20 to 120mΩ) along with high voltages and higher capacitance of an electrolytic.

Hybrid capacitors are available in a voltage range of 25 to 80V and capacitances between 10 and 330µF. Aluminum Capacitor Life Calculation Liquid electrolyte  Dry-up  Open Failure  Finite Life
